Something on my shipped eggs

IMO, what you are seeing is albumen leaking out through the pores, and hardening on the shell. I'm guessing these eggs are not viable. If you want to wait till day 7 and then candle, you can do so, but check the bator every day for funky smells. If you smell any thing that smells like death, then let your nose determine which eggs are involved and remove them immediately.

I pulled one out & touched it. It seems like egg white that has dried. Could they possibly be rotting after 24hrs?

No smell yet!! Fingers crossed!!

I have had store bought eggs forgotten for 3 months in a warm trunk with no junk on the shell and no smell until cracked and were black inside. Not all rotten at that point either.

Yes it was the fact that you said the eggs looked fine when you received them but then looked like this after 24 in the incubator. That indicates some kind of leakage. I had an egg go bad and ooze after two days of incubation, so it can happen that fast. I would be questioning wherever you bought the eggs as this is not normal. Maybe they sent you old eggs or did not practice good hygiene when handling them?

I still say remove those that are leaking IF there are some that are clean shelled. If they are all like that you might want to take a chance and leave them a few days until you can candle for signs of life.

I received eggs in the mail, they looked good when I inspected them, a few rolling air cells but I let them settle for a day then put them in the incubator. It’s been 24hrs in and I noticed this stuff on the shipped eggs. Do I need to toss them?

In the second photo here, it is clear the top egg is oozing. The bottom egg looks like it might be ok.
